Eden Stone operates seven quarries throughout Wisconsin to deliver some of the most unique stone products in the world. There are 2 quarrys in the Valders area, including the largest covering about 150 acres. It is located in east-central Wisconsin between Lake Winnebago and Lake Michigan about 70 miles north of Milwaukee. The Eden quarry is located about nine miles southeast of Fond du Lac nestled in the rolling hills of the kettle moraine of Wisconsin. The Oakfield, Chilton(2) and Stevens Point area quarries allow Eden Stone to provide a diverse selection of colors, textures and materials to clients around the world.

The beauty, strength, and value of stone is easily incorporated into both decorative and structural components of the building project. Use stone for contemporary or traditional designs including arches, panels, pillars, quoins and other components. Valders is a full service company including all phases of production, shop drawings, fabrication and shipping. Installation assistance is also available. Call for more information on the design and use of cut stone including custom designs.

This specification includes full natural stone veneers that vary in depth 3 to 6 inches (76 to 152 mm). Most full veneers listed below are also available in a sawn thin veneer to a nominal depth of 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches (19 mm to 38 mm). See Section 04852 for thin veneer specifications.

          2.2VENEER STONE
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select product colors and patterns from Eden Stone Co. Literature or by direct visual inspection of samples. Special heights and lengths are available by special order. Delete paragraphs below that are not required. If more than one product is used identify the locations of each product on the Drawings. If special shapes are required clearly indicate the location and size on the drawings. Note that most full veneers listed below are also available in a sawn thin veneer to a nominal depth of 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches (19 mm to 38 mm).

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The following definitions have been included for reference:

Sawed Edge - Stone that is cut on a large diamond tipped saw to deliver an exact angle for the cut.

Bed Face - The natural bed layer of the stone. The exposed surface is the naturally formed "top" surface of the stone as they were created in nature.

Rock Face - The hand or machine chiseled finish on the side of the stone piece. This creates a more dimensional, bolder texture to the piece.

Split Face - Adds a machine split face finish to the side of the stone piece. The stone piece is "broken", very exactly on a hydraulic guillotine. It is also called "snapped edge"

Weathered Edge - The natural, layered edge of the stone piece which has been exposed to the elements for centuries. It shows varied levels of erosion and coloring. Some vegetation may still be embedded in the surface.
